2021

  • May-Jul: Media coverage for our recent journal article about benefit eligibility requirements as The Guardian refers to our recent paper and we were invited to contribute articles to The Conversation, and to Austaxpolicy.

  • Mar.: Commissioned research report + methodological report published for a project I led on the connection between education and the labour market - or the school-work transition - for the ‘green sector’ in The Netherlands. For this project, together with stakeholders in the sector, we constructed a custom classification of the ‘green sector’ in terms of which educational programs (crebo/croho), industries (SBI) and occupations (ISCO) belong to the ‘green sector’. Link to report and link to methodological report. Both in Dutch.
  • Feb.: Joined editorial board. I'm honoured and delighted to join the editorial board of Tijdschrift voor Arbeidsvraagstukken (TvA) - the Dutch-language peer-reviewed journal on issues concerning the labor market, work organization, labor relations and working conditions. Link
